on the road with our son Charlie in autismland

There is a very terrible story here about the alleged abuse of a 15-year-old with Asperger's Syndrome in Eagan, Minnesota but if that is all you would prefer to know, go to the second page of the post, which is about cultivating the unique and lovely talents of individuals on the autism spectrum -- while wanting to report on the suffering of that 15-year-old in Minnesota, I wanted to make it very clear that raising an autistic child should never involve such hopelessness.
